Kamal Kakdi ki Subzi (Lotus Stem Veg)

I absolutely love kamal kakdi but again a veg which we hardly get in Pune. This time when I visited Meerut, I told mom to source the stems and make this for me. I don’t think I have eaten kamal kakdi in last decade.

The recipe is very simple and you cook it like any vegetable. It tastes especially well with peas though. You can add potatoes also if you like. My mother prefers adding tomatoes to many of the dry veggies which lends a sour taste as well as interesting twist to the recipe.

The lotus stem is crunchy and firm. A must try dish if you have never eaten it.
